Everyone has been looking for it and it looks like Jason Lee Miller may have nailed it down: the smoking gun for net neutrality. He writes:
It's been difficult for the layman to conceptualize what is meant by the neologism "Network Neutrality." It floats over heads like the word "neologism." Advocates typically have cited scenarios that could happen without a neutral Internet and, when they can, cite real life examples - like yesterday's report of a Canadian ISP shakedown.
Canada-based cable provider Shaw Communications handed Vonage more bad news in the form of a "Quality of Service Enhancement." Vonage customers, presumably not the ones suing Vonage over its abysmal IPO, who connect via Shaw's services have the "opportunity" to upgrade their VoIP service for a small fee. Otherwise, they can expect static.
I think someone accused me of spreading FUD on this issue? Maybe they ought to think again.
